Candy Cane Cookies....

This is my first year making Christmas cookies to give away to a large group. I decided to try my hand at making Candy Cane Cookies. I found a simple recipe online here: (Recipe) then I found a poem to go along with the cookies here: (Poem)

Tom cut out the poems

I shaped and baked 100 cookies

Tom put two cookies in each ziplock bag and tied the poem to the bag.

Tom read the poem while Pastor Jose tried to sneak a bag of cookies....

and then together we passed out the cookies to the kids.

Christmas cookies are not part of the traditions here. The Black Fruit cake and the plain white cake are the only homemade holiday treats here. The cookies were a big hit with the kids and with the adults. Even the teens came up to thank me and tell me they were delicious. Next year I will start earlier and make more than just one type of cookie for them to try. I guess we can help start a few new traditions at the Sheperd's House.
